Eureka, eureka! At last she knows. the candle she holds is burning her soul so she huffs and puffs to blow it right out but magic, oh, magic, that candle, you know, goes out for a time then lights up again. And so to Plan “B” she makes all haste but the pages are blank in her journal of schemes and she knows, she does, to not ever dream, so what, oh, what, is a gypsy to do? She ponders and ponders the question at length till finally, yes, she’ll tie up her mind and pull and pull with all of her might until time suffocates and everything dies. But time, the devil, keeps marching on so off to Plan “C” she makes her way but the path is littered with sticks and stones which don’t hurt soul as everyone knows. Slowly, slowly, but gypsies must rest and always, of course, hope for the best but indeed she is most fearful to tread on all those dastardly sticks and stones. One day, one day, she’ll fly overhead when mind is released and everything’s dead! Helen / 18 December 2014 |

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No, no, no, it's the gypsy lady conquering her sticks and stones.!!! ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |

Hehehe! And you forgot to say, "conquering her sticks and stones". |

Go to plan 'D', and with a broad broom of determination, sweep away those sticks and stones before you, as you march on along that path. Clear the path ahead before you take to flight, there will be no opportunity to alight. Top poem, made a drowsy mind alert. |

Thank you, Redstart. What a great idea you have proposed. Of course it makes sense now that you have said it. Two minds are always better than one. I have a broom - you know, the kind you fly on but perhaps better used as you suggest because what goes up must come down. Clear the landing space first! You are a genius. |
